Today alot things to say. especially bout great wall!!!

Early morning woke up. so early. My mom screaming at me and i went to wash up and met my cousins and brother. This was our first breakfast in the hotel. We sat down and talked and ate. Nothing wrong about the food yet as it was the first time. The next day we all go bonkas. You will find out in next post.

We take our weapons ( windbreaker ) and all the necessary things and headed to..... shi san ling. Its actually a place to see ming tombs.. If im not wrong. i did not know what was that actually.i was not listening to xiaoyun. oh ya. this was the day when we began talked and chitchat together and joked with xiao yun. We were more like close relatives and this day, two other members join our tribe and so there are 20 of us now! we made friend fast. both of them are couple. On the way to shisanling, we hear xiaoyun talked many things. Today whether was the same. no rain but shine! good whether though.

When we reached there, it was very cold. we all shiver on the thought of great wall as there will be colder because its on top and the higher it is the colder it is. joan and me wrapped ourselves up again. We walked around and saw alot of ming ancient things. Then soon we walked finsinh. i cant temember what we really saw. It was 3 weeks ago! how could i remember. i have to say sorry for al these because my computer spoilt and its juz recovered from a shock. ya. continue on my trip. soon it was freetime for people to go toilet. the four of us did want to go so we walked by the stores seeling things. There was not much people there as it was still early. We saw one biscuit whcih has SHE on it. my brother go crazy already. He is a mad fan of them. Then joan grandma bought corn and she gave it to us. Joan took one bite and i took one bite. mmm.. iT taste wierd though. Then the two of us shared it with my brother. Then we bought taiwan sausage. Each of us has one. heE. it taste like that in pasamalam.

Then we took photos again and freetime was over. We followed the adults and xiaoyun and we lauging and talking eating our sausage. sudenly. my brother dropped the precious sausage! sad case for him. Its the only thng to keep him warm and he drop it. Joan and me continue savoring our sausage.

After this shisanling, we went to a jade factory selling jade. Its more sort of place for adults. So boring! But something caught joan and my eyes. It was the star shaped. though its a jade, its so cute and we bought it! *grin* We finding bubble gum across everywhere and couldnt find it. After the adults satisfactory of their jade we went for lunch at a veri high class and biggest restaurant. i felt like a princess cause everything was prepared for us. a bus a luunch and a dinner and all the places we visit. nothing to be afriad of.

After eating, the fear came........ great wall! before reaching we talked bout it in the bus and xiaoyun told us jokes. shes a very nice tour guide! We keep joking with her and joan uncle always make fun of her and bully her. She's very nice. i really missed her already now. In the bus, she told us that there was once a sentence.. " bu dao chang cheng fei hao han " (translation: not a lucky hero until one reaches great wall. now guess wad she tell us, she say it doesnt means we must reach the top. Even we reaches great wall meaning we drove pass there or what as long our feet touches there we are hero already! it make sense though. i'm going to be a hero!! Then joan and i planned to climb only few steps.. haha.

When we reached there, i can feel that i am a hero. ok. its not funny, but looking how high and far it is. i... really feely like dying. actually it was not that cold ok. its just we climb until we will feel hot. Then we get ready and up goes one. one step..two step.. three step............. and sooon we were all out of breath. Laguhing at ouorselves.. Then we climb quite high actually. den the difficult part comes! going down was a more diffciult task then going up! down and down. the steps were not even and you could just tumbled off easily. We hold on the railing and went down.. looking down! woah! so high! so scary.. can faint off. but theres no way else we can get down. Then finally me n joan reached.

We went to find our brother and went to look at things sselling there. Then ahball came.we walked around there and looked down. euuk so scary.. then wakled and me n joan sang song. haha. glass can break. no. there is no glass there. We walked and walked until we al hungry. We wanted to buy food to eat. we went down the shops and saw the SHE busicuit again! Then we did not buy, we bought another busicuit.. forget wad name already. Then my brother very funny. We beggining to roll our toungue and talked like beijing people. Then we wanted to buy busicuit but dontknow what it is called in chinese so just point. Then my brother stand at the shop window .. From far he looks like he flirting with the shop owner! oh my god. Then my aunty said should take photo of that! laugh out loud. Then finally we went in bus.. warmth.. Then me and joan eating busicuit and passed to ah ball and my brother. THen joan and my seat was dirty as we were laughing until we dropped the busicuit and the bus moved non stop i went down to pick things knock until my head! very funny lor! we want to take all those bits up. Then quick pass to my brother and ah ball the rest and cleaned our seat. so messy!

Then veri funny. i sing one part she sing another. can take part singapore idol! haha. Even worse. my brother sang till we can go deaf! he sing so.... euuk!

when we reached my bro joan and i found a place to sit as the person talked about the medicine oil. Then he go scald himself and put on the oil for us to see how good the oil is. So crazy. sacrfying himself for us to buy. But at last alot people bought it. Then while the adults sneak off, the three of us went shop and bought a sore throat medicine as we have. Then went to toilet. Oh yes. So far, i did not talked anything bout toilet yet. Frist few days, acceptable. not till last few days.. Then after that we quicky run up the bus.
